ABSENT OFFICIALS.

Several super-critical Republican Or
gans are commenting just now with
good deal of severity upon the fact that
nearly all the prominent government
officials are at present out of Washing
ton. Secretary BAYARD being the only
member of the cabinet remaining. The
organs assert that inaSmuch as the varl-
Gus officials are servants OF the people,
they ought to attend to their duties in
stead of idling away their time i'll
pleasure seeking. And the organs are
decidedly wrong.
The law allows every department en-
ploye an annual vacation of thirty days,
and why it should not also apply to the
men who preside over the departments
is not clear. They work as hard as any
of their clerks, are equally i'll need OF
relaxation, and are as deserving of it.
In fact unless they allowed themselves
these occasional seasons of rest, at times
when there is no pressing demand for
their presence in Washington, they
would be unable to endure the strain.
The trouble with most public men
is that they do not take rest
enough. They overwork the machine,
never stop to repair it, and, as natural
consequence, collapse occurs. The
fault is one peculiar to American public
men, and, despite the numerous warn
ings given them, it seems to be one they
are not disposed, as class, to remedy.
The officials who have set the example
by devoting themselves to recuperatiOn
for time deserve to be commended in
stead of condemned, and we regret to
see that our usually intelligent cOntem-
poraries, whose editors surely ought to
know what is involved in the evil of con-
tinuous labor, do not take this sensible
view of the matter. But perhaps their
partisanship Overbalances their common
sense

A VALUABLE ACCIDENT.

Senator BUTLER, of South Carolina,
who opposed the passage of the inter-
state commerce law when it was before
congress, now thinks that it is good
thing. He goes further and says that
he will advocate an amendment to the
law, which shall prohibit railway COM
panies from working their employees
more than twelve hours out of the
twenty-four. The reason of the sena-
tors sudden conversion is that he was
travelling on train the other night
when an accident occurred. On exam
lining into the cause of the accident it
was found that the engineer had been
Oh continuous Duty for over seventeen
hours, and the poor fellow had been
sick for several days, was so overcome
by the long service that he had been
compelled to perform, that he had fallen
asleep on the engine. According to
Senator BUFFERS view of it, the en-
gineer was not to blame. He placed the
blame on the company that imposed Oh
its employees task beyond all physical
endurance. If a few more congressman
would have the same experience that
Senator BUTLER had it would be great
blessing,

Politics in the G. A. r.

When the q. A. r. was first organized
it was said to be an organization for the
purpose of keeping alive the friendships
formed during the war, but soon its real
character began to appear and the Dem
ocratic members withdrew, and general
decentralization followed. Again it was
re-organized on strictly nOn-partiSan
basis and the association flOurished be-
yOnd the expectations of its founders.
Is it nOn-partiSan to-day? The disgrace
full conduct of the order in Wheeling,
w. Va, and the threats as to what was
to be enacted at ST. Louis would seem
to indicate that no Democrat can be
member thereof without forfeiture of
self respect. The Chicago forces of the
G. A. r. have about made
up their minds as to the
proper person to head the
organization for the coming year. Hear
what Gen. II. II. Thomas says: II like
Warner, of Kansas City, and if he is
cand date | shall probably support him.
He is a bright, active man, and has
revolutioniZed Kansas City politically to
Republicanism. Col. B. G. Davis says:
Il favor Gen. Slocum; is a Democrat
and also Fitz John Porter man." II.
P. Thompson faYors Warner, preSuma-
ably because he has revOlutioniZed
Kansas City to Republicanism." The
Democratic members of the post in this
city are waiting for the action of the
grand encampment and unless the dis
graceful conduct at Wheeling and the
palsied efforts of Fairchild, futile and
others are condemned we shall with
draw in body. We are loyal to our
government and her rulers, it matters
not what the politics of the president
may be. SALTWATER.

LOYAL TO WILLIAM.
The Defenders of the Fatheriand
Celebrate in Chicago.


CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-IrOn crosses, en-
blems of bravery bestowed by Emperor
William of Germany OH the defenders
of Vaterland, adorned the breasts of
several hundred of the 5000 German
warriors who marched in procession
through the streets of Chicago to-day to
the damp ground of the North Ameri
can Kriegerbund. In addition to the
crosses there were medals innumerable,
and the cOlors of Deutschland bright
ened every participant in the days re-
union and festivities. 1t was the
fourth anniversary and grand "come-
tegether"Of German-bOrnAmerican cltl-
zens who Shouldered arms for the sake
of their fatherland, especially i'll 1871.
To these German eX-soldiers the Occa-
sion seemed vertable Fourth of July.
Representatives from almost all the
large cities in the United States we're
in line, and the hearty cheers which
greeted them as they marched, made
them very proud and happy set OF
men. AS the galy uniformed veterans
passed north on Clark street to the
Sharpshooters' park, keeping step to
''Die Yacht am Rhein' and other airs
so familiar to them all, they pre-
scented magnificent spectacle. AT
the head, as master of the day, came
Lieut.. Baus, of Chicago, on a royal
looking cream-white charger. Behind
him was Gordon of police. Then came
the Cincinnati Landwehr Verein, wear
ing white sashes and silk tiles; the Gin
cinnati Krieger Verein, Bienker post
Grand Army of the Republic, Through
courtesy, German Red Crosses, Mil
waukee Krieger Verein and ladies, Chi
cago Westphalians, Northwest Krieger
Verein, of Chicago, Town of Lake vet
Grams, and the Chicago Krieger Yerein,
the latter numbering 600 men. Follow
ing were carriages containing President
V0gelgeSang and the various COM
mittees. Peoria and Aurora,
H.; Hamilton, O.; Batesville,
and Fort Wayne, Ind, and PittSburg
were also largely represented. All
along the route private residences and
business houses were hung with
wreaths and notices and German
colorS. So great was the enthusiasm
that more than once the music of the
bands, to say nothing of the Sabbath
stiffness, were lost in the outbursts of
Old German war cries in honor of Kaiser
Wilhelm and the first reunion of Ger
man war veterans which Chicago has
ever seen. At the park the day was
given up to volksfeSt, an affair CORE
spending to the American picnic.
That jollity was the rule goes
without saying. The only event
of formal character was late in the
day when William Woke, of Chicago,
delivered festival address. He con-
trasted the Germans and French, eulo-
giZed the German soldiers, and urged
his hearers to be as loyal to the United
States as they had been to Germany.
The sentiment was cheered TO the echo.

Shall Minnesota Be Recognized?

To the Editor of the Globe.
Heretofore and for nearly thirty years
Minnesota has been counted unsailingly
as one of the Solidest blocks in the Re-
publican pyramid. Last years cyclone,
which carried into congress three of the
ableSt Democrats in the state, has
opened the eyes of the country to the
wonderful elements for the political ev-
olution contained in the vast and chang
ing masses of the growing Northwest.
Proper recognition by congress would
do much toward consolidating the DEM
ocratic sentiment in Minnesota, and
placing lis substantially and reliably in
the Democratic column.
In this connection it may not be out
of place for the GLOBE to suggest to the
Democratic majority in the lower house
of congress that Minnesota will present
a candidate the coming session for one
of the most responsible offices in its
gift-that of doOrkeeper. 1t is hardly
necessary for us to say that we allude
to Col. Plat B. Walker, of Minneapolis.
For more than twenty years Col. Walker
has been familiar figure in Minnesota.
and it is safe to say that very few men
have filled as large and useful place
in Northwestern development with as
much mOdeSty as he. Could the inside

our people would be able to judge some
thing of the actual practical worth of
the man to the commercial interests of
the West. His efforts have been untir
ing, though without recOmpenSe, he
having given freely, without compensa-
ton, an ability which. sold in the public
marts of traffic, would have placed him
among the millionaires of Minnesota.
OF his genial nature, kindness of heart
and generosity of spirit it is not neces-
sary to speak. These are lovable quail
ties, known wherever he is known, even
though they may not count for much in
making up the estimate. The election
Of Col; Walker to the position for which
he will be presented by Minnesota's
united Democratic delegation in con-
gresS would be deserved recognition
of the noble effort of the Democracy last
fall, and would count for much in plac-
ing Minnesota in line for 1888.

WAS HE A COWARD?
A Peculiar Letter Said to Have
Been Written bY MaXimilian


CITY OF MEXICO. Sept. 4.-As an adj
ditiOnal piece of evidence in the contro-
versy regarding Maximilian's conduct
at Queretaro, the following note, pur-
porting to be the autograph of the EN-,
peror, is published to-day:
Queretaro, June Is, 1S67.-The two drafts
of 100000 which l signed to-day for the
colonies (names omitted), and which are to
be paid by the imperial house and family of
Austria at Vienna, are only valid on the day
of my complete salvation, due the colonies
mentioned. MACMILLAN.
1t is seen by the Spanish original that
the construction follows the rules of the
French language in one place and that
the general construction is not accord
ing to the genius of the Spanish Ian
guage. The note is written on piece
OF common thin yellowish paper. The
signature is said, by the editor of the
Monitor Republican,, to be an
exact fac simile of that of
Macmillan, as ascertained by the
examination of state papers. The ques-
ton which agitates the Mexican press
may be reduced to this: Was MaXimiI-
ian a coward, trying to save his life at
all hazards and in defiance of all honor
able rules of conduct, or are the letters
to Lopez and this memorandum forge
rieS? The matter is growing more and
more Interesting, and Editor ESteva, of
the Nacional, proposes to throw more
light on the subject by important inter-
views.

MINING SENSATION
BY an Attachment on the Gogebic
Range.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 4.-Aecording to
advices from Hurley and Bessemer, on
the Gogebie range, great excitement
has been caused there by the attach
ment of the Bourne, Iron King, Valley,
Blue Jacket and First National mines,
known as the John E. Burton proper
ties. Five hundred miners are on a
strike and demand two months wages
in arrears. A number of them threaten
to flood the mines, which would
entail loss of $4,000. Mr..
Burton is in New York to con-
summate the transfer to the BeSsemer
iron syndicate of the five mines men
toned. Ex-senator Stephen Dorsey is
president of this corporation and Jesse
Grant, eX-Assistant United States
Treasurer Coon and other New York
capitalists are directors. 1t is claimed
here tonight that the money
due the miners will be sent
on Tuesday. The attachments thus far
made are for small amounts, and unless
a shower of additional attachments fol-
low tomorrow, as is threatened, the
storm will be weathered. The trouble
will cause great sensation throughout
the mining region.

GERMAN CATHOLICS.
The Meeting OF Their Benevolent
Society in Chicago.

Ine Meeting or Their Benevolent
Society in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. A huge triumphaI
arch of flowers, surmounted by crown
with plain figure of the cross, was the
center of throng of thousands this
morning at the entrance to st. MichaePs
hall on North avenue. The proceedings
began with an address of wei
come by Mayor Roche to the 300 dele
gates present. He predicted for the
organization an honored place in the
history of the country for its great work
or beneyolence and charity. President
Spannhorst, of st. Louis, replied, thank
ing the mayor and all, abiding to the
steady growth of the German Catholic
society, already one of the most power
full benevolent societies in the United
States. He dwelt upon the objects of
the society--beneyOlence and charity
and then, doubtless refer
ring to the rumors of antag-
onism between the Irish Catholics and
their German co-religionists. said: eve
are not here for any purpose but to con-
suit upon the best means by which the
most good can be done to the members
to promote their interests and the in
tereSts OF those depending upon them.
Our purpose is not, and never has been,
national rivalry or strife. Therefore
all illusions sometimes harshIy
made, about fight between
those of different natiOnalities
but of the same faith, are ridiculous and
out of the question for discussion in any
OF the meetings to be held here this
week. Questions of discipline and order
in our church are not submitted to so
cietieS of laymen for their discussion.
Such matters are regulated by those in
authority, and if occasion requires may
be finally settled by the propaganda"
The delegates then proceeded to st.
MichaePS church. Detachments of
Knights of st. George and St.
Joseph marched into the church
and formed a passage through which
the priests entered in their robes. Pom
tificial high mass was celebrated by
Bishop Vertin, of Marquette, Mich,
and Bishop Wigger, of Newark, n. j.,
preached. His utterances were a plea
for the religious school as against the
existing secular institutions for the ed
ucation OF the youth of the country
This afternoon representatives of the
societies composing the union paraded,
making complete circuit of the city.
The total number of persons in the pro-
cession was at lest 1000 by careful es-

SCHOOL OPENS.

To-day the public schools begin new
scholastic year. Both teachers and pu-
pills have been refreshed by the long va
cation, and though it will be several
days before all are broken into the usual
routine again, work will be resumed
with redoubled vigor.
st. Paul has good reason to be proud
of her schools. 1t is frequently said
that in the hurry of business af
fairs Western people pay too little
attention to the necessities, moral
and mental, of their children, but
that is a criticism which certainly can
not be alleged against the Twin Cities.
Their school system will compare favor
ably with that of any city in the cOun-
try, and it is improving, too, right along.
la St. Paul the enrolment of pupils for
the coming year will reach $4,000, al
most an entire percentage of the num-
Der of children old enough to be sent to
the public schools.
The successful training of this great
number of young people involves a
heavy responsibility upon the teachers
and is fraught with vital consequences
to the community at large. That the
teachers will not be found lacking in
their duty the experience of the past is
an assurance, and that every child who
comes under their instruction will lay
the foundation of a life of usefulness
goes without saying. 1t is not the
teachers fault if the superstructure is
lacking in any respect.
But however conscientious the teach
erS may be, they can not accomplish the.
best results without the hearty co-opera-
ton of parents. IL should be very
serious matter indeed that is sufficient
to excuse a child's absence from the
school room, and in this respect too
many parents are Over-lenient. Unless
they aid the teachers in impressing
upon the children the necessity of study
there viii be many laggard where
there should not be one.
And before another year rolls around
there should be no lack of school accom-
modations. At present there is no room
to spare, and in some instances the
children must be disagreeably crowded.
In no way can city afford to be more
generous than in its provision for
schools, and difficult though it be to keep
up with the city's rapidly growing popu-
lation, we hope that by next year an en-
rollment of $4,000 children can be easily
cared for.
